My opinion? I don't really support this initiative too much (Sorry @threejay hope this doesn't lower my chances of winning :P). I'd admit it seems nice but I feel this will support the whales more than new players who don't spend much. Many people struggle to find the funds to buy new cards in order to upgrade their deck and so this will make it super hard for new people to join. I have seen a couple of new players who have been discouraged from playing the game due to the high costs of maintaining a good deck. This is why I don't exactly like this idea.
Thanks for the feedback your chances will not be effected at all. This project is targeted not to favor whales and that`s why we are burning common cards mostly. maybe I can do a basic deck building guide at some point, new placers should be able to build a level 1 deck with out to much cost. My partner in this reached diamond 3 with a couple of his level 1 decks. Maybe we can keep a small amount of each card we buy and build starter sets for noobs. New people are key to the success of splinterlands but the people who have put a lot of time and money in need to make sure their cards don't loose all the value. my deck is worth about half of what it was worth 6 months ago. Good luck on the give away.
Really? I know the prices fluctuate but the card values seemed to have gone up. A $2.5 phantom of the abyss last month is now 2x that amount. This is why I think it is now more expensive to play than cheaper.
when I started all summoners were in the $1.00 usd range for a single card and actually more like 1.25-1.80 now with untamed summoners are .36- .50, beta are down to .85
The amount of .01 cards now compared to before is probably 20 times more. We plan on staying away from cards that have a high value already. Do you think any card is worth less than a penny?
The untamed summoners are relatively new and their cheap price is, in my opinion, great for new players. They also had a big jump in price in the past 2 weeks I believe. The beta summoners are, also in my opinion, better and they still cost $1.5 for single bcx. The ones worth .85 are almost maxed or are maxed and therefore still cost a lot with discounts. I guess you can burn those since new players probably can't buy those but I think leave the single bcx alone is best. Btw, yeah I think gremlin blaster should be worth less than a cent.
